Women's-health research, topic by topic

Pick a condition or life stage. For each one you can search the live evidence and see, on every result, how many women were included and whether the outcomes were analysed by sex.

Conditions

  • Endometriosis: A common condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows elsewhere, often with long diagnostic delays. See how the evidence base reports on the women it studied.
  • PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome): A hormonal condition affecting metabolism, fertility, and more. Check how consistently studies report participant sex and stratify their results.
  • Adenomyosis: A frequently under-recognised uterine condition. See how much research exists and how it reports on its participants.
  • Uterine fibroids: Common benign growths that can cause heavy bleeding and pain. Review the representation and reporting across the literature.
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding: A symptom that affects daily life yet is often under-studied. See what the evidence base looks like.
  • PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder): A severe form of premenstrual symptoms. Check how much research addresses it and how it reports its cohorts.
  • Cardiovascular disease in women: The leading cause of death in women, historically studied mostly in men. See how often results are broken down by sex.
  • Breast cancer: One of the most-researched women's cancers. Review how the literature reports on who was studied.
  • Cervical cancer: A largely preventable cancer where screening access varies widely. See what the research covers.
  • Ovarian cancer: Often diagnosed late. Review the evidence base and how it reports on its participants.
  • ADHD in women: Long under-diagnosed in women and girls. See how much research addresses sex differences in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Autoimmune disease in women: Autoimmune conditions disproportionately affect women. Check how consistently studies analyse sex differences.
  • Migraine in women: Migraine is more common in women and often hormonally linked. See how the research reports on its cohorts.
  • Osteoporosis: Bone-density loss that disproportionately affects women after menopause. Review the evidence base.
  • Thyroid disease in women: Thyroid conditions are far more common in women. See how the literature reports on who was studied.

Life stages

  • Menopause: A universal life stage that remains comparatively under-researched. See what the evidence base covers.
  • Perimenopause: The transition into menopause, often poorly recognised in care. Review the research and its reporting.
  • Menopause and HRT: Hormone therapy evidence has shifted over decades. See how studies report on the women they enrolled.
  • Pregnancy complications: Pregnant women are frequently excluded from trials. See what the research base looks like and who it reports on.
  • Pre-eclampsia: A serious pregnancy complication and a leading cause of maternal illness. Review the evidence.
  • Postpartum depression: A common but under-treated condition after birth. See how much research addresses it.
  • Maternal mortality: Maternal deaths remain a global equity issue. Review the research and how it reports on its populations.
